The board consists of seventeen directors, ten of whom are managers of NPR member stations and are elected to the board by their fellow member stations. The seven remaining directors include the president of NPR, the chairman of the NPR Foundation, and five prominent members of the public selected by the board and confirmed by NPR member stations.

Do you know of a web site on which I can learn the salaries of such NPR employees?
Also, a site where I can learn the actual amount of tax dollars sent to public broadcasting. I have seen figures ranging from 450 to 650 million. I’d love a factual amount.
Not long ago a family member of mine who has worked hard his entire life was told what the head of NPR made in the state of Maine. This family member makes peanuts for a wage, is ill but still refuses to stop working. Sadly, is also a life long lib and sends what he can to NPR.
When told of the amount the NPR head was paid and asked if his contribution might help pay this person...well, his face turned pretty red. Never sent in another dime. Still a lib but one very confused one at this point.
